9 Video Games Where You Lose No Matter What
1. Quantum Break
Remedy Games has a history of things not working out well for the protagonist, as I've already pointed out with the Max Payne series. Alan Wake gets trapped in a lake, Max's whole life is a waste basket of remorse, addiction, and death, but how about the time-traveling story of the Joyce brothers and more importantly - Beth Wilder?
In the end of Quantum Break, though it does have different branches of story, you ultimately wind up detailing your information to one of the bad guy's minions. The issue really comes from the constant reminder that you can't change the past - what you've seen in the future will always occur.
Beth's been to the future, she's seen the literal end of time, when the world ceases to be as we all know it. The world ends and everything you've done in the game to stop it, including derailing the 'ark' - a last chance method for humanity to exist once the event occurs - is ultimately a failure.
So unlike the other Remedy titles, not only does the protagonist get screwed over, but in this one you've likely doomed all of humanity. Way to go.
